Call your nursing board. Do not take any information on this site as truth. Or you could be highly disappointed in the end. Be honest. Were you arrested? UCMJ? Drug charges? Call your state board of nursing..be honest..and get a true answer.

Man. I just retired from the military last year at 45. I was Army Officer in the Nurse Corps. I still work, but just intermittent. Maybe 16 hours a week. Just be aware. 12 hour shifts. Nights. Weekends. Very hard work. I would avoid taking ...

Literally no one cares where you get your NP. I would apply to the cheapest school unless you have someone paying it for you. I have worked with a lot of NPs. What matters is do they do the job well. That is it.

Talk to a recruiter. They are going to be able to give you factual information. I just retired from the Army Nurse Corps and things have changed a lot since 2001 when I went in. Good luck.

I just retired from active Army Nurse Corps last year. In the Army new nurses/NPs are usually stationed at MEDCENS. Such as Fort Gordon, Tripler, Walter Reed, places like that. The keeping spouses together. It is possible. I have seen married ...

No benefit. Get the MSN if you need it for the career you want. No one will care whether you had the BSN.

No one on here can give you an accurate answer. You need to talk to your school. Explain the situation and see what they say.

No one cares. Get your BSN. What matters is certain jobs require a BSN. Like the military requires a BSN. Maybe a nurse manager job will require a BSN. As long as you meet that qual it is then up to the person. Literally no one has ever asked m...

You are promotable with 13 years active and you are going to the Reserve? (also it is not Reserves.. It is the Army Reserve. Not plural). I would stay in man and get your retirement. I am retired Army Nurse Corps active duty. I did see some pilo...

As long as accredited it makes zero difference. I would go cheapest way possible because you will be working hard to pay it back. I was an Army RN and the minimum requirement is a BSN. That is it. I worked with nurses who went to Rutgers, Georget...

No it isn't "poor judgment". It is called consequences. It is a clear violation of the rules and a violation like this could lead to a sentinel event and major lawsuit. Everything is liability. If a student is this clueless about personal inform...

Ask the school. No one on a message board can give you an accurate answer.

Talk to your program. No one on a message board can answer whether a school will let you continue.

Study more. Work harder. And if you say "I am".... it isn't enough. If you truly believe you cannot study more or work harder then maybe a career outside nursing is best. NCLEX is simply the general entry point into nursing.

Those schools will absolutely care about your grades. You have zero nursing experience and you plan to be an NP straight out? Good luck.

I suppose. She will be a brand new nurse with zero experience. Not sure working by herself will be perfect, but whatever. I am retired now. Do whatever makes one happy.

Are you borrowing money for this? What kind of physical shape are you in? Can you be on your feet 12 hours for 3 days straight? Be realistic before you spend 60 grand. If you are taking out loans be prepared to be paying back for years....meaning...

No one cares. Everyone is busy with their own issues. Male nurses are a dime a dozen at this point compared to when I started like 15 years ago. Just focus on doing a good job and showing up for work. You do that and you are good to go.

Schools are desperate for students. Apply to many and go with the cheapest.

Not once in that book you wrote did you take ownership of anything. Blame fellow nurses, blame bosses, blame patients. You are blaming being an RN for 2 years for every medical issue you have? If you were having panic attacks your first semester ...

If your mental state is so compromised that you couldn't make it though nursing school what makes you think you could provide good care to patients? You can perceive it how you want, but it probably saved you from a career that wouldn't work. The s...

"I feel" means absolutely nothing. Your post says that multiple times. If you have factual evidence of being treated in a manner that is not allowed by your facility you may bring that evidence to the CN boss. If they do not provide you an outcome t...

"easy" or "hard" make absolutely no difference. Do you want to be an RN or not? If you do then to become an RN means completing school and passing the NCLEX. If you don't want to be an RN then you don't go to nursing school. You gotta get from po...

Doesn't matter if you feel the mother is "coming onto you". It is your responsibility to make good ethical decisions. Patients (and their families) are often in compromised positions due to stress, anxiety, and other issues related to their persona...

Depends on what you were kicked out for. Was it cheating? Anything criminal? Honesty when you apply is your best bet. No one on here can say whether you will be accepted or not.
